The Disappearance of Industrial Relations

The expansion of teleworking and the increase in the number of people working on platforms brings with it a number of fundamental changes that challenge labour relations and workers' rights. These changes in the world of work pose challenges to the financial sustainability of social security, the promotion of workers' health and the identity of the worker as an analytical category. The paper analyses these changes through a comparative analysis of legislation in several Latin American countries, revealing the beginning of the end of labour relations as they were known in the 20th century. The mediation of the digital code to determine income, the isolation of the working day, the blurring of working hours, the delocalisation of employers and workplaces are some of the symptoms.
